💥 New York Dems are now convincingly leading in, or have won, enough seats to clinch a supermajority in NY’s Senate & legislature.

Game changed for redistricting.

The decisive seat? Defeating Rob Astorino, the former executive of Westchester who’d so fought affordable housing. https://twitter.com/lenmichaelwor/status/1331238476595990529
NY Republicans were in power until the 2018 midterms.

Within 26 months, GOP lost their IDC allies; then they lost the majority; and now have collapsed further! Sea change.

And Dems are still likely to win at least one other seat as count continues. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kLtgP0DqVbANuMAKagNibR3rgIn-EEz6wU5mOLf-0Sk/edit#gid=70771118
Hard to overstate extent to which NY State’s GOP anchored its legislative campaigns on the endorsement of police unions & on aggressive messaging against state Dems’ bail reform. These are Astorino’s final 2 tweets before Election Day.

He lost, they lost. Dems solidified power.
